When I am alone on a long run in the rain in May, heading out through Norwich, up past Maple Hill and down past Bradley Hill; when the pavement ends, and I pass those sad cows at Goodrich Four Corners (not people, cows); when, after miles of trying to visualize my legs (not legs, life) like a train on the tracks, I catch sight of Baker Tower between a crease in the hills, away across the river: This is happiness, for me. When I am running far and long and hard, I am happy.

I never felt more in touch with my half-Italian heritage than when I heard the old country saying "dolce far niente" or "it's sweet to do nothing." Doing nothing is a little taboo at Dartmouth but I'm taking the first step and admitting that there's nothing I'd rather do. I could live without homework.

If you could institute one rule of etiquette at Dartmouth, what would it be? "Say goodbye to the rando you've been studying next to in the library for the past five hours when you leave." - Jean Luo '10 "The Male Specimen Washing Hands After Urination." - Sarah Frostenson '11 "Always flush, and bathroom freshener should be sprayed to your heart's desire." - Priya Shanmugam '13 "No snoring on 3FB!" - Jamila Ma '12 "Stop referring to New York City simply as The City'.

The word etiquette brings to mind white-gloved girls, pearls and afternoon tea. At Dartmouth, well-mannered might not mean being quite so strait-laced, but words of wisdom could certainly remind us of a daintier time.
